An Analysis Of Errors Made By Korean Students

Vocabulary is one of the three main elements of a language. It’s also one of the bases of learning a language. The common element for people, who learn Chinese as a second language, is learning the antonyms. This thesis is a research on "The analysis of typical errors of Korean students when learning the antonyms". A questionnaire method was adopted for more than 60 Korean students, whose level was HSK5 or HSK6.Among them 30 were in the environment of the target language, and the other 30 were out of the environment of the target language. That’s to comprehend the influence of the environment on the learner. Also to contrast the students with levels HSK5 and HSK6 and to study how students on different stages master the Words with the same morpheme. In the result of the research it was found out that the interference between Chinese and Korean languages for Korean students is connected with the interference of Chinese language in itself, that is the main reason of the errors. Furthermore while analyzing the reasons of these errors, it was found out that the students who were in the environment of the target language could master the information better than the students who were out of the environment of the target language. And also students on different stages of the language could master the language points differently, according to their level. So we recommend teaching for different language stages and for different environments accordingly.
